The Beat Academy presents The Battle of The AmericasBeat Battle featuring judges Young Guru, Symbolyc One (S1), and Jake One. On Saturday June 21st 24 producers from USA and Canada will go to war in the ultimate team beat battle!

DJ Premier explains how Guru and Big Shug designed the Gangstarr logo and how it’s been used throughout all of their albums. Primo also talks about how Mass Appeal was created with the intention of being a radio hit.

All you Mac nerds that though you may have been missing out on the FL Studio fun can now rejoice. Today Imageline announced that FL Studio Mac OS X would be open for public beta. Previously, this had been a private invite only. This is an experimental version running in a custom crossover wrapper, so don’t expect any official support.
